This country is really in the toilet, moral-wise. Most people lack the desire for truth, and they're only out for themselves, talented and qualified people included. Any person deemed talented and qualified has to go along with screwing his fellow citizens, otherwise he doesn't get to gratify his vanity even further, or enjoy privileged access to even greater material pleasures. A truly righteous, virtuous person could never occupy a position in the highest levels of government today.

A righteous and virtuous person will not even want to go outside today to avoid the idiot minions walking about..

True. He'd turn away from the world, knowing how full of malice it is. Probably join a monastery, or at least eke a living in some very humble profession. Most of today's white-collar professions are worthless and a waste.
